“Katie was a great dog and house sitter for us for 15 days while we were out of the country. She has an innate way with animals and our Nova took to her right away. From the meet and greet until we were home, I never worried about Nova's wellbeing. I was able to leave everything in Katie's capable hands. She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out to her, both before and during our trip. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself.”
“Patrick was amazing,. I needed someone to sit my dogs last minute because a family member canceled and he was quick to reply. He took great care of them and went over and beyond to attend to all their needs. He sent me pics of them all weekend. I would highly recommend Pat if you’re looking for a good sitter.”
“Amber was amazing! This was the first time we left our 3 mini dachshunds with anyone other than a family member and it was a great experience. Amber made sure all of our pups were well cared for and she stayed with them 100% of the time. She is a great dog person and our pups took to her immediately! She sent pics of all the pups cuddling with her! We couldn’t have found a better pup sitter! Already scheduled her for our next vacation!”
“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”
“Annie is the best! We didn't have to worry about Stevie at all while we were away because she took such great care of him. She kept us updated daily with pictures, videos, and stories. We think Stevie has found a new best friend ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”
“Kate was great! She was super communicative and sent us lots of pictures while we were gone. We could tell our pup had good exercise and was well taken care of while we were gone, and our house was just as we left it. We will definitely book Kate again in the future!”
“Absolutely loved Nicole, sweet as can be. She gave my pups love and took them on a walk on her short stay. Appreciated her staying later than planned 🩷 thank you!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages and stages. I have delivered puppies and taken care of them through their first 8 weeks of life. I have cared for older dogs giving them medication in various ways. I am a typical home body so overnight stays will ensure that your pet is seen, cuddled and cared for extended periods of time throughout the week. Daily I am home by 5:00. In my home pets are apart of the family. My only boundary is that pets are not allowed on the furniture, me and my kids have allergies and need the sheets to be clean!
“Thank you Jared for taking such good care of Beau for the day. I really appreciate you taking this at last minute. I am sure he enjoyed his day with you! Hope to have you back again sometime!”
About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!
“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She was professional, dependable, and attentive. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and would gladly book with Haley again.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grayson! From the very first visit, it was clear how much love, care, and attention he gives to animals. He treated our pets like his own—sending us regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog (and even our usually shy cat!) instantly bonded with him, which says everything about his calming and kind presence. He went above and beyond making sure their routines were followed to a T. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless home. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. Grayson an absolute gem, and we feel so lucky to have found him!”
About: I've taken care of friends and families' dogs and cats since highschool. Including full house sitting as well as dropping in for quick walks, potty breaks and feeding times. I'm currently working 35-40 hours a week weekdays and I'm off work on weekends. I'll have plenty of time in the evenings and mornings to take care of your pets during the week and I'm very available for them during the weekend "I provide safe care in your home by sticking to your pet's regular schedule. I make sure doors are locked, clean up any messes, and send you daily updates and pictures."

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Buechel
Cassie is great! We booked her fairly last minute and she was wonderful with our 3 fur babies! She stayed at our house for 6 nights and everything went great. She shared pics throughout the week which we loved. Our girls are a lot! They have different foods and there are meds both morning and night. Cassie managed it all like a champ and our girls were happy and cared for! We will definitely book Cassie in the future and I highly recommend her!
Madison was incredible! This is the first time we’ve left our recently adopted dog with a sitter and I was nervous but he couldn’t have been in better hands than with Madison. She was very communicative, sent great updates, and was really fantastic with my dog. He had so much fun while we were gone! I would definitely recommend Madison and have already booked our next sits with her!
Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Buechel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 731 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Buechel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Buechel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Buechel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Buechel choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
